Trading Wings for Cyclo-Cross Worlds

In lieu of guzzling chicken wings this Super Bowl Sunday a few members of our team decided to grab cameras and take a pilgrimage to the Cyclo-Cross World Championships in Valkenburg, Netherlands.

Campbell Steers, Ian Stowe, and Zach Wick hopped across the pond in support of Santa Cruz’s resident ‘cross virtuosos Tobin Ortenblad and Ben Gomez Villafañe as they represented the USA on one of cycling’s biggest stages. Our California crew found themselves knee-deep in the spectacle of European cyclo-cross as they braved rain showers, snow flurries, and boot-swallowing mud alongside 40,000 Belgian and Dutch fanatics in hills of southern Holland.
